Abstract

By adding an informational component to the judicial review, Rogers (2001) argued that an independent court can be created and maintained by a legislature. This influential article, however, has one important mistake in its game-theoretical model that changes the equilibrium results and ultimately undermines the theoretical contribution to the discipline. The legislature no longer enjoys informational benefits by having an independent court.
